Stone Soup Coffeehouse Presents Annie Lynch and the Beekeepers, plus The Low Anthem November 22, 2008

Double Bill : Annie Lynch and the Beekeepers and The Low Anthem

Annie Lynch and the Beekeepers is a group of undergrads at the Berklee School of Music in Boston who play songs that sound old-fashioned, yet are totally new and fresh. With the resurging interest in folk music among young people, the collapse of bee colonies around the world that inspired the band’s name, and how they bring instruments like a mandolin, accordion, clarinet, and musical saw together, this group is suddenly realizing their potential.

The Low Anthem formed as a professional band in 2006 in Providence, RI. The founding members were Ben Miller and Jeff Prystowsky. Their mutual interests in Americana, baseball, and morally agnostic narrative necessitated the formation of The Low Anthem. They began a collaboration with classical composer Jocie Adams in November 2007 and have become something of a local phenomenon. With three full-length records, extensive touring with 100 shows in 2007, Best Album of 2008 from the Providence Phoenix, and receiving national radio play, they are quickly building a legitimate fan base across the Northeast.
